Why do I suffer from neck stiffness and tingling sensation in the little and ring finger?

Hello doctor,

I suffer from cracking neck and feeling nerve stinging or nerve compression from time to time. As I am close to healing, I injure myself. It has been going like this for about six months. I could not walk but could walk again without pain after taking the NSAID treatment. About a couple of weeks ago, I came back to visit my family. The weather was very cold. I felt stiffness in my back and felt like I had touched my nerve again. I had weakness in my hand, but I regained power lately. Now I feel some tingling sensation like pins and needles in my pinky finger and the finger right next to it. I want to know if I am healing or if it is a bad thing. Should I visit the doctor again? Kindly suggest.

Hello doctor,

I will answer all your questions one by one. All the symptoms below are just on the right side.

1. My symptoms are stiffness below my neck around C-8 to T-11. I think sometimes I feel like a nerve is pinched, and when I was injured, I felt pain when I took a breath, but it is gone now. I only felt a scorching pain under my trapezius muscles when I walked at night. It was very cold, and my muscles were stiff. That is when I started the treatment again. Before that, almost all my symptoms were gone except for my hand and elbow, but I think it is because of my sleeping position because I only sleep on one side. Also, the hand symptoms come and go. Right now, they are not that bad. Sometimes I feel discomfort in my wrist also. All these symptoms are only on my right side, but after taking Voltaren, the symptoms went down slightly.
2. Symptoms get exaggerated with cold weather when I sit scrunched working on my computer, if I stay in one position for a long period, or if I sleep on my right side.
3. No, I only did the cervical X-ray.
4. I am taking the tablet Voltaren, which is anti-inflammatory.
5. No, my doctor did not explain anything to me. He asked me to take the medication and start training, but it aggravated when I started doing pushups. I can only run as running makes me feel good, and taking a hot shower.
6. I had a reflux kidney operation when I was 5 years old. But it is good now.
